Fashion help again: pick a dress

It's been so slow! Hope somebody is around and can help! I posted before about needing a dress for a wedding at the end of April. I've been looking at the recommended stores and not loving a lot.

I really like this jcrew dress but it's more than I want to spend. I guess I can stalk it for sales. Although I worry jcrew dresses are so bridesmaidy right now.

I am thinking of ordering a few from nordstroms. Are any of these ok? I'm liking the lace ones and that seems to be the majority of dresses they have for "wedding guest" search.

I'm not sure any will fit so I want to order soon so I have enough time to look elsewhere if needed. I can order a few but not all, ha!

This is my fav I think

Re: Fashion help again: pick a dress

  • And I realize pretty much all of them are blue or black! I can't seem to find any dresses style wise I like in more "springy" colors. Are these too dark?

    I am sure I can look again closer to the date to see if more spring stuff comes out but I need to start the search early enough because it always takes a while to find something

  • I agree with Emmy!  I like the first one that you said is your favorite.
  • Me too (number 1) - (I thought I quoted Emmy here)!

    I also like #6 and #7 as backups. :)

    I tried on that first one from Nordstrom and it is AWFUL! It is very Mother of the Bride/Groom in real life. 

    Oh, and FYI the J.Crew one is 25% off with the code LOVE.

    And I agree, right now is not the time to look for dresses. My brother is getting married on the 29th and I have spent days looking. I think I am going with either:

  • That's depressing about #1 Kris!! It looks so cute!

    Yeah I saw the 25% off for the jcrew one but ugh, still more than I want to spend.

    What is your price point? 

    Piperlime?

    Talbots has a bunch of really nice dresses out.

  • Also, Cache. I know it sounds crazy, but my sister got a gorgeous navy blue dress there last week for my brother's wedding and it was super reasonable. They have nice things if you can get past the gaudy stuff.

  • Haha I did pass cache over the weekend but didn't go in. I was scared!

    I'd definitely like to stay under $200. Around $150 or less would be nice.

    I'll look at talbots too. I forgot about piperlime! Will look there too

  • Have you checked the Limited? I bought this one there a few weeks ago, it was 40% off at the time, but it looks like their dresses are buy one get one free right now:

    I plan on wearing it to my SIL's rehearsal dinner in October so I was ok with darker colors, but they did have a lot of dresses in brighter colors or patterns.
